Key contacts
If you have questions to raise around infant and young child feeding in emergencies (preparedness, response and recovery issues), we recommend these are posted to the technical forum, en-net . The IFE Core Group acts as technical moderator to this forum. Posting on en-net allows access a much wider audience of practioners and operational agencies to respond and to learn from questions and answers. Questions can by submitted anonymously if you prefer.
If you would like to contact the IFE Core Group directly, contact the ENN, whose focal point is: Marie McGrath, +44 (0)1865 324996
The name and contact details for the focal points for each of the members of the IFE Core Group are available on request from the ENN.
